ok Dan this is a big topic that has come up..... you need to make it possible to atk people that are on your friends list. I understand not being able to atk players in your legion no brainier, but their are many times I get alerts from players that are on my friends list and I want to help out my legion but i am not going to drop someone off my face book friends list because of a game. It is not unrealistic that someone would atk a friend in the real world as well. people fight and make up all the time.


SO PLEASE MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO ATK PEOPLE THAT ARE FRIENDS. i still want to see them listed as friends but make it possible to atk raid and hack them.

This may or may not have come up already, I haven't been watching the forums in some time.

I don't understand this component of adding who you are fiends with in Facebook to who you can not attack in the game. The two things are mutually exclusive. I am friends with plenty of people but I still wish to play the game normally, I want to be able to attack everyone when and where I wish. I also shouldn't have to cut off someone who is a friend in an application totally separate to this game.

It really isn't fair having the game rules apply to something outside the game. I had heard that the original intention was to stop people from farming their friends for badges. I'm not really sure how that is supposed to stop that part of it. But at the very least there are a thousand other ways to contact your friends if you wanted to just sit around and trade badges. Almost all of those ways are more convenient and efficient then being friends in Facebook with them. How many instant messenger programs are out there? Can you ban those also? Voice programs like Teamspeak and Ventrilo? What about phones? Text messages? What if you actually live near someone you are friends with? Do you have to move?

This has been nothing but inconvenient and at the very least only helped to create tension and uneasiness between people who used to be amicable towards one another. I would have to say that this 100% has not helped improve the game at all, it has been completely detrimental if nothing else and it really should be changed back to the way it was.

lol may or may not have been suggested... :P the same idea is one right after the other on the forum! anyway, i agree. i dont really have this effect me that much, as i havent really friended people outside my legion, save for 3 or 4 people. but i can see where this would be a great fix to the game.

Chris and I were actually talking about it a few minutes ago, so we both said someone should make a post.........so we both took our own advice I guess.

farming might jump up again if this happens, but maybe have a penalty or something, besides there is a limit on disables, so it won't be that bad, +1 I want to challenge my friends to fights >:)

i think he just means it shows as an additional kill and a potential additional hack or raid stat, and that friend kills shouldnt be added to that so people dont farm their way to the leaderbords.

people are gona farm or find ways to exploit the system no mater the barriers that are in place. but having the game not allow you to atk someone who is a friend on your face book page is a pain. I do not plane on un-friending all the people on my fb for a game, it is 2 separate issue and they are so unrelated. my friends in FB should have anything to do with the players in a game. I get several alerts from my legion mates and have to sit back an just watch from the side lines because I can not atk a FB friend. People don't need to be friends to farm badges, if they wanted to do it they will find a way. all you would have to do is just atk someone one time and you could exchange badges back and forth every 12hrs. that reasoning that people are going to farm badges is so lame. Not saying I am going to atk all my friends on FB but to be able to help out in a battle from time to time would be nice, instead of watching my legion from the side lines.
